Perlman plays the Soil Stradivarius violin of 1714, formerly owned by Yehudi Menuhin and considered one of the finest violins made during Stradivari's "golden period." Perlman also plays the Guarneri del Gesu 1743 'Sauret' and the Carlo Bergonzi 1740 'ex-Kreisler'.
PS: This is funny - after writing that I prefer Perlmans violin sound better I checked on Wikipedia what he is actually playing: I also find the tempo generally a bit odd in this interpretation. In terms of the solo crescendi Amandine Beyer fumbles it a little bit trying to play it too fast. But generally seen I do prefer a slightly more pronounced soloist, also the sound of the lead violin could be better. I like the build-up to the first crescendo, where the Cembalo puts in this slightly delayed stretch-chord. You can find it in this box: Italiane Baroque I also like Amandine Beyer with her ensemble Gli Incogniti. And as he is also acting as the conductor he is guiding the orchestra to correct speed and dynamics. Verdict: In my view this one is great, as Perlman is a technically stellar violinist and has the skills to play the fast parts both accurately and with a nice phrasing. Here’s my best pick: Itzhak Perlman with the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra. I find that maybe 80-90% even of the world’s top violinists fumble this somehow.Īnd, this is of course completely semi-serious, so no Magico/ Wilson discussion kind of time-wasting. The challenge is tempo between conductor and the solist being tough to get right, hard to align and even more difficult to bring together in a dynamic performance. Here’s the background: at some point I was collecting Vivaldi Four Season’s interpretations in order to find the best interpretation of this piece. 8, RV 297, "Winter" (L'inverno) Allegro non molto (in F minor)
